The FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham ended with Stoke City’s victory.

After the game, most media paid attention to Jamie, who recorded one goal and one assist, but there were also a few articles mentioning Mario quietly contributing to the team’s victory.
[ (Official) England national football team announces list for A match in April ]
[ 4 goalkeepers, 20 midfielders, 2 strikers. Only 2 strikers. The reason is? ]
ㄴ [It is highly likely that research on how to use ‘Jamie Lee’ is a priority]
Unfortunately for Mario, however, those few articles were completely buried by other articles the next day.
[Lee Kelvin Kazley, national team coach, ‘as expected’ Jamie Lee. ]
[This convocation focuses attention on convening ‘Jamie Lab?’, Jamie Lee]
[ Lee Kazley “It is difficult to mention only a specific player. However, it is true that expectations are high”
It was because Jamie was included in the April A-match convocation list.
“Well, it’s a friendly match, no fuss.”
However, Jamie, the person involved, was not really impressed.
It was because I had been called up to the national team throughout my past life and active career-although I was on the Korean national team, and I had played quite a few matches against world-class countries such as Brazil and Belgium in major tournaments.
“ha ha ha. That must mean that he has a lot of interest in you.”
Hearing Jamie’s self-talk, Hannah burst into laughter.
“But it’s a bit surprising that Belarus was chosen as a friendly partner. Didn’t you hear from Brian?”
“Well? Looks like you didn’t come. Let’s talk at the training ground tomorrow, well.”
Although Brian was included in the opposing team’s call-up to Belarus, it didn’t really bother him.
And the next day…
“Jay, Brian, do you know why you’re doing that today?”
“…”
“No way, are you doing that for the A match next month?”
I started to get concerned when I saw Brian’s attitude of not talking to Jamie throughout training.
“Brian.”
Eventually, after team training, Jamie approached Brian and talked to him.
“Do not talk to me.”
“…Ugh?”
“We are enemies now, Jamie.”
what enemy? is it elementary school? Jamie, who was about to say more, just shook his head and decided not to bother again. It was because the madmen knew very well that it was beneficial not to deal with them.
“Jay.”
However, within 5 minutes, Brian sneaked up to me and started talking to me.
“I don’t talk to enemies.”
“sorry.”
Jamie wanted to be more childish, but soon changed his mind.
“Why.”
“What should Team Ace do?”
“Well?”
However, I lost my words for a while at Brian’s question that followed.
Because it was a question I had never asked before in my life.
I was aware that I was the ace of the team, but I was never conscious of it.
I became an ace simply because I was good at soccer. That was it.
“I must be good at soccer.”
So I had no choice but to give an answer that sounded somewhat deceitful.
“Can you tell me more?”
“Goal scored.”
“In addition.”
“Either pass or break through. Anyway, do what you are good at.”
“…”
Unfortunately, Jamie’s answer didn’t seem very helpful. Brian shook his head and approached Keating.
“Keatting. Is there any difference between playing for Stoke and playing for the national team? Whether it’s the mindset or the play style.”
“Well. I’ll try to fix it some more. Should I say I play more aggressively?”
Fortunately, Keating gave a more helpful answer compared to Jamie’s answer.
“Ah, I see what you mean. I think I tend to do that too.”
“hahahaha. I can’t help it. Stoke City has Jamie. There is no Jamie on the national team.”
Read from noble mtl dot com
Literally, every other team except Belarus, Wales and England has no Jaime.
So both Brian and Keating had no choice but to play with more responsibility than they did for Stoke City.
In particular, in the case of Keating, there was a high possibility that ‘Callum Jones’, who was evaluated as a member to lead the national team with him, was feeling considerable pressure as he showed a lower-than-expected appearance.
“I don’t think there is any need to overdo it. However, since I’m human, I can’t not be conscious. To exaggerate a bit…”
Keating paused for a moment.
“Are you exaggerating?”
“I don’t think there is anyone else who can score goals. No, I tend to play thinking that there is no one other than me to break through and no one to make a decisive pass other than me.”
“…”
And the answer that followed was a bit radical, and Jamie and Robin, who were listening to the conversation next to it, were surprised to look at Keating.
“That, is that enough?”
“ha ha ha. It’s not that I disrespect or distrust my real teammates. I am talking about the mindset of playing the game and the sense of responsibility.”
Keating must have read the atmosphere, too, and he burst into laughter and then proceeded to deal with it. Fortunately, the team members who knew what Kitting was like usually smiled.
‘Yeah, so did I.’
However, Jamie could not smile alone. It was because he, who played for the Korean national team in his past life, fully understood Keating’s words.
Compared to the size of the infrastructure or domestic league market, Korea is a country where many talented players come out.
However, the period during which Jamie played for the national team was, as Korean football reporters later put it, a ‘talent gap’.
Except for Jamie, there were no players who belonged to big clubs or even played in the Premier League. Strangely, players who had shown quite good performances in Primera Liga and Serie A failed to show their full potential when the national team came.
In the end, Jamie had to perform a so-called ‘one-man show’ every time he played the national team game.
‘Shouldn’t I have given you advice based on my experience at this time?’
Jamie glanced at the profile of Brian’s thoughtful face. It was because I wanted to ease the psychological burden of my teammates as vice-captain, even though I was not a teammate.
“There’s still time left before we leave. Why are you making a fuss already?”
Conversely, Harry didn’t want to see it. openly criticized.
“right. Mutombo is incomprehensible.”
if u see this you eather reading in epub or from somewhere other than noble so just bear with it it may break the flow but nothing can be done sigh
Mutombo also helped.
This time, along with Jamie, it was likely that he would be selected for the national team-he is a dual citizen of England and the Netherlands, so it seemed that Brian could feel that he was worried about his full stomach.
“sorry. I couldn’t be considerate of my friends who weren’t selected for the national team.”
“…unlucky bastard.”
“Brian Recka is a badass.”
“ha ha ha.”
Fortunately, the atmosphere immediately relaxed.
“But Harry is right. We are still far away, so let’s focus on the league game in a few days.”
Jamie had a word as vice-captain.
“yes. It’s not a weak team, it’s Arsenal. He is not an opponent to be taken lightly.”
Robin agreed, and Brian nodded and began to stretch.
After that, Brian didn’t bring up the topic of the national team. Rather, he participated in individual training more enthusiastically than usual, but it seemed to be his intention to worry less about the national team.
**
Time passed quickly.
[ Rupert, Rupert Moseley······. ]
[He stabs a surprise roving through pass toward the penalty box. ]
[Gool! I’m in! Arsenal score a dramatic equalizer just before the end! ]
Stoke City were drawn against Arsenal immediately after the FA Cup match. There could be many reasons for not winning, but one of the biggest reasons was definitely Jamie’s absence. It gave Jamie, who was tired from consecutive league matches and FA Cup matches, a game off.
Still, since they drew without Jamie against Arsenal, which is considered to be quite strong, there was a high possibility that it would be a good choice as a result if they won both of the remaining league matches before being selected for the national team.
[ Jamie Lee······, hit me! ]
[ Awesome! A surprise mid-range shot from a long distance shakes the net! ]
[As if to forget the draw in the last game, a cool goal is scored! ]
Fortunately for Stoke City, it really turned out to be the right choice.
[ Jamie Lee, run! Can they continue their performance in the last game? ]
[ Break through the mark! ]
[ Enters the penalty box. do you hit ]
[Shoot! ]
[I’m in! Jamie Lee scores another wonder goal! ]
This is because both of the following matches were won by Jamie’s performance and maintained 1st place in the league.
[A match day in April, who is England’s opponent? Brian’s Belarus]
[ England vs. Belarus, Jamie vs. Brian? ]
b [ Two players met as enemies. “I am not conscious of Jamie. The victory of Belarus is more important.” Brian Recka, who brought up the story of Jamie Lee first without asking.]
b [ Jamie Lee, “I understand his pressure.” dumb reaction. ]
And, finally, the day that many English football fans have been waiting for has dawned.
“lee! long time no see. ha ha ha. Even if I wanted to change my uniform today, I couldn’t.”
Wembley Stadium, where the friendly match against Belarus will be held.
Ryan Young, who was selected for the national team along with Jamie, approached me while pretending to be friendly.
“yes.”
Jamie gave a rough answer and glanced the other way.
There, Arsenal’s Rupert Moseley was tying his shoelaces.
Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all
Nicknamed ‘Arsenal’s Wonder Boy’, he was also selected for the England senior team for the first time.
‘Come to think of it, there are a lot of new faces.’
Jamie shifted his gaze and looked around the locker room.
It was a fact that I was not conscious of when I first saw the national team roster or when I was training.
Except for ‘Roger Barrett’, who is regarded as the core of England’s defense, there were many players who had no relationship with the national team.
With so many major tournaments left, like the World Cup, I wondered if they were trying to make various attempts, including a generational change.
‘If I do well, Mutombo will be selected at the next convocation.’
The moment I thought that, the locker room door opened.
“How are you all feeling?”
The person who opened the door was England national team coach Lee Kelvin Kazley.
“Today’s match is more about the process than the result. No, good results are the default. Winning is natural, and it can be said that it is important how much you prove your worth in the process. Do you know what I mean?”
Ambiguous answers from players came from all over the locker room.
Charlie or Milo would have complained that they didn’t like the answer, but Kazley wasn’t that type of manager.
“great. phew.”
Instead, he singled out Hugh Godfrey, who is starting today in place of Ryan.
“Yes.”
“Today’s mission is simple. How well you use Jamie’s pass. how many goals do you score This is the point. It can be expressed as an evaluation criterion. Do you know what I mean?”
“···Yes.”
Tottenham’s Hugh Godfrey replied with a slightly intimidated expression.
That would also be the case, because his recent performance at Tottenham was not very good.
“great.”
Whether you know it or not, Kazli clapped his hands with a bright expression and said ‘clap’.
“Everyone prove their worth.”
Another vague answer came out, and Kazli left the locker room. With the start of the game just around the corner, the players came out of the locker room almost immediately.
“lee.”
After a while, while waiting in line in the hallway, Brian wearing the captain’s armband spoke to me.
“Brian.”
“I won’t see you today.”
Judging by the look on his face, he seemed to have been relieved of a lot of pressure.
“ha ha ha.”
I liked that. Jamie burst into laughter.
But that was just Jamie’s illusion.
‘…Brian, you simple bastard.’
After a while, the match started, and Jamie couldn’t help but let out an internal sigh.
It was because Brian, who took Keating’s advice too straightforwardly, was really overdoing shooting and breaking through.
